    Fujishige never liked fighting this kind of battle because the reconnaissance force provided them with too little information.  They didn't even know how well the enemy was fortified, how many men there were, or what type of fortifications they had.

    But since the division commander had given the order to attack, they could only bite the bullet and rush to the foot of the mountain.

    "Artillery, call for artillery bombardment, bombard the enemy's positions." Fujishige was shouting from the walkie-talkie.

    The field artillery regiment accompanying their division has been prepared.  After receiving his request for artillery support, they immediately began bombarding two mountains.

    With the roar of artillery shells piercing the air, the two mountains were bombarded by Japanese artillery at the same time.

    Because they cannot determine the specific location of the enemy, they can also carpet bomb the entire mountain.  Rows of shells struck, landing at different locations on the mountain.  Although it can provide full coverage, it lacks the focus of bombardment.

    Amid the roar of artillery shells, the originally peaceful mountains suddenly began to become noisy.  The birds and beasts that originally lived here suddenly started running around.  Trees that had grown for decades or even hundreds of years were all broken and fell under the bombardment of cannons.

    ¡°Click!!!¡±

    The sound of trees being broken by cannons was like human bones being broken. It sounded very terrifying.

    And underneath this land, soldiers hidden in tunnels and bunkers were nervously checking the weapons in their hands.

    The dim lights in the tunnel allowed them to see the faces of their comrades sitting in the passage.

    Some veterans had relatively relaxed expressions and were still discussing whether they could have a delicious meal at night.  If that doesn't work, it would be nice to seize some canned beef from the Japs during the war.  Many recruits were a little uneasy, and some put their hands on their rifles, rubbing the barrel of the gun uneasily.

    At this time, there are two regiments of troops stationed under the intricate tunnels on these two mountain peaks, totaling more than 2,000 people.

    Li Cheng was sitting on the ground in the tunnel, smoking a cigarette in his mouth.  The cigarette butt flickered in the somewhat dim tunnel, like a candlelight in the darkness.

    No one bothered Li Cheng. He did this every time he fought, smoking quietly in a corner, as if everything was under his control.

    Until the battle officially begins, he will put out the cigarette butts, and then transform into a beast, commanding his troops to bite all the enemies who come up.

    When Li Cheng smoked his fifth cigarette, the sound of gunfire below suddenly stopped.

    Li Cheng put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, then put the remaining half of the cigarette into his cigarette case and put it in his jacket pocket.

    He stood up in the dim light, his tall figure almost filling half of the tunnel.  The soldiers nearby looked at their commander.

    ¡°Brothers, it¡¯s time to get to work!!¡± Li Cheng¡¯s deep and penetrating voice echoed in the tunnel.  Everyone seemed to see Li Cheng's blood-red eyes under the dim light, as if he was a wolf about to start preying, and the Japanese army were the sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

    After the Japanese artillery bombardment ended, the soldiers of the Japanese 17th Regiment and the 8th Regiment mixed together and began to advance towards the jungle-covered mountains in front of them.

    They moved forward while searching, and among the bombed-out mountains, they kept a distance of more than five meters between each of them, like a large spread net, and began to move toward the area that had just been ravaged by shells.  The passing mountains shrouded the past.

    Because they could not determine the location of the enemy, they could only search while advancing. Therefore, although they did not encounter any obstruction, their advancement speed was very slow.

    "Three hundred meters away, do you want to block the attack?" The soldiers in front kept reporting the location and distance of the Japanese army to Li Cheng.

    Li Cheng said: "Let them in, keep the bunker hidden, and don't fire at will. When they get close to the exposed bunker, strangle them."

    "yes!"

    The Japanese troops continued to move forward and were about to reach the top of the mountain.  Until now, they still haven't found any trace of the enemy.

    This made them begin to wonder whether the enemy was not in this mountain range at all, and there was something wrong with their reconnaissance unit's intelligence.

    But soon, the discovery of the front troops dispelled their doubts.

    The enemy's trench was indeed discovered in the front.?There are fortifications and even headquarters, but those places are empty. It seems that the fortifications have only been dug, but there are no traces of anyone stationed there.

    After receiving the information, Fujige Masa asked the troops to continue searching.

    After passing the trench fortifications, the Japanese troops were only 500 meters away from the mountains.  Their troops quickly jumped over the fortifications and headed towards the top of the mountain.

    This basically convinced them that the enemy had almost no troops stationed on this mountain range.

    On the other side of the mountain, the situation is almost the same as here.  The Japanese army discovered several fortifications, but found no traces of human presence.

    This actually made Fujishige Masamune a little confused. Also confused was Takeshi Ohara of the 8th Engineer Regiment.  Although there may be information misreporting in the reconnaissance force, such a huge information misreporting almost never occurs.

    Unless the captain of the reconnaissance unit wants to go to court-martial, after all, if he randomly delivers wrong military information and causes casualties to the troops, it is not an exaggeration to shoot him directly.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we are about to reach the top of the mountain. There are traces of enemy positions there, but we have not encountered anyone on the previous enemy defensive positions." Fujishige was speaking to the division commander through the walkie-talkie.  Reported by Honda Political Information.

    Honda Zhengcai was a little surprised when he heard this.  But he could only let them continue their search. If there were indeed no enemies on those two highlands, that would be good.  They can occupy two commanding heights without spending a single soldier, which will be very beneficial to their future attacks.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
